The big sell: As with many coastal communities in the Lower Mainland, Port Moody saw its beginnings centre on transportation. As the western terminus for the Canadian Pacific Railway in 1879, it welcomed the arrival of the first transcontinental train — from Montreal — in 1886. History has a habit of repeating itself, and many new developments in Port Moody will soon take advantage of its convenient access to the Evergreen rapid transit line, which will connect it to the Millennium Line and downtown Vancouver. This home in the Aria 2 tower in Suterbrook Village has a bright interior with a southeasterly exposure. There are engineered hardwood floors, stainless steel appliances, including a gas cooktop, and granite counters. The unit has also been freshly painted in a designer colour scheme. Bonus features include a Samsung Platinum washer/dryer combo, a storage locker, one parking stall and access to the building’s amenities, which include an indoor pool, exercise centre, sauna/steam room and hot tub.

The big sell: According to listing agent Suzanne Wheeler, multiple offers were received for this sun-drenched south-facing property on West Vancouver’s Sentinel Hill. Providing a “wow factor” to prospective buyers was the vantage point, which provides far-reaching panoramic views that stretch across Lions Gate Bridge towards Mount Baker and around to Stanley Park and downtown Vancouver’s city skyline. The well-maintained home was built in 1939 with three bedrooms, an option to convert another room into a fourth bedroom, two full bathrooms, plus an ensuite off the master bedroom, spacious living and dining areas, a separate family room, a signature stone-surround gas fireplace, and picture windows to frame the impressive vistas. Other highlights include a full walkout lower level, large balcony, double carport, ample storage and meticulously landscaped gardens that fill the 70-by-105-foot lot, ensuring privacy and shade.

The big sell: One day was all it took to sell this two-bedroom townhome, which takes up the main floor of this heritage-style house. A spacious front porch leads to an open-plan interior with hardwood floors and a high ceiling. The bright kitchen features abundant cabinet space, a useful built-in corner desk to accommodate a computer, and rear-door access to the backyard. The living and dining area is cleverly separated by a double-sided wood-burning fireplace, and there is recessed and pendant lighting. French doors open to the master bedroom, which has a fireplace, two closets and an en suite bathroom. Other noteworthy items include in-suite laundry, storage locker and private enclosed garage. The townhouse enjoys full use of the front yard, front patio and back deck. Its location in Kitsilano’s sought-after “north of 4th” neighbourhood ensures that the beach, the Royal Vancouver Yacht Club, Jericho Tennis Club and shops and restaurants are all within walking distance.
